The 24V power supply for the Collector is also included, as well as a specialized
cable and mounting supplies.
ALLOW ROOM FOR EXPANSION
The Versus Collector can support up to 24 Sensors. However, best
practices suggest leaving open wire pairs (open positions) on the
Collector punch-down block to allow for easy addition of extra Sensors or
Badge Storage Cabinets.
No more than 20 - 22 Sensors should be connected during the initial
installation to allow for future expansion without additional Collectors.
The current VER-2407 Collector features a black plastic casing and new design
which provides the added flexibility of allowing the unit to be upgraded to an
Ethernet Concentrator in the future. They are fully compatible with the DHCP
generation of Collectors and Ethernet Concentrators and can be mixed or
matched on existing DHCP hardware chains.
3. V-Direct Ethernet Concentrators (VER-2037)
Ethernet Concentrators are network devices that
receive all data passed from Sensors through
Collectors, format the data and send it as a data
packet to a computer over a LAN.
Each Ethernet Concentrator is assigned an IP
address, which is how the data is communicated
to the V-Direct Locating Driver. By default, each
VER-2037 Concentrator ships with IP address
208.6.140.104.
Each Ethernet Concentrator can support up to four Collectors, including the
Concentrator Plus’ internal Collector.
CONCENTRATOR PLUS INCLUDES COLLECTOR
The VER-2037 Concentrator Plus differs from earlier models because it
includes one internal Collector, which functions as the first Collector on its
chain. Each Concentrator Plus connects to a punch-down block.
Therefore, the shortest chains in any installation will consist of only one (1)
Concentrator Plus and no (0) Collectors. When serving as the only
Collector in a chain, the Concentrator Plus should be terminated just as
you would a Collector with the included termination shunt. Longer chains
will include up to three (3) additional Collectors connected to the
Concentrator Plus.
